PAN Niger Delta Elders Forum, PANDEF, has opined that the legal representatives of the candidates of the Labour Party, Peter Obi and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, did not do a good job in the presidential election matter they handled.
National Publicity Secretary of PANDEF, Ken Robinson, stated that the lapses in the presentations by the counsel for LP and PDP were regrettable, adding that the lawyers did not do due diligence on the matter.
Robinson said that they followed the extensive judgment that lasted for about 11 hours and it was elaborate. The justices of Court of Appeal made exclusive explanations and detailed ruling on the matter.
He further said that an ordinary man who is not a lawyer seems to be sound and the statements that the judges made were explicit that even the ordinary man will understand that the petitioners did not do a good job.

The Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has urged the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, and that of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, to concede defeat and save themselves the resources and trouble of approaching the Supreme Court.
Both candidates have since announced their decisions to challenge Wednesday’s judgement of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal upholding the victory of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February 25 vote.
However, Bello told State House Correspondents in Abuja on Thursday that Atiku and Obi are better off moving on and supporting the Tinubu administration.
According to Bello, Nigerians within the country and in the diaspora are happy with the verdict as are members of the APC.
